Marlins manager Skip Schumaker

The Miami Marlins have parted ways with manager Skip Schumaker after a disappointing 2024 season, finishing with a 60-100 record. Schumaker, who was the NL Manager of the Year in 2023, is leaving due to a family health issue and is not expected to return before the season ends. Under his leadership, the Marlins made the playoffs last year but struggled significantly this season, prompting new President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix to initiate a rebuild by trading several veteran players. Bench coach Luis Urueta will take over managerial duties for the final games of the season. In a recent game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Marlins secured an 8-1 victory, showcasing strong performances from players like Dane Myers and Griffin Conine, despite Schumaker's absence. As the Marlins move forward, they face a pivotal offseason to reshape the team and potentially find a new manager.
